Additional info

Pricing

The listed price of the trip is per person based on double occupancy. The cost of the Taj Mahal extension is $390 per person based on double occupancy. The Taj Mahal extension will not be offered from May 1st, 2024 onwards.

The minimum group size for us to operate the extension is 4 guests. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in taking the extension. Before booking your international airline tickets, check with us to ensure the trip and extension are confirmed above minimum participation requirements.

Two of our departures will occur during Indian festivals. Holi is the Festival of Colors and will take place in March. Held in the spring, it is a vibrant celebration of love often featuring colored powder liberally shared.

Diwali is the five day Festival of Lights taking place in late October. Diwali celebrations are varied and diverse, but often include fireworks, exchanging sweets and gifts, and a focus on renewal and prosperity. There is a modest surcharge on both of these departures to accommodate the popularity of accommodations and other services during this period. 

Traveling Solo?

You’re in good company. Solo travelers typically make up about half of our small groups. With curiosity at the center of our experiences, there’s a natural camaraderie that develops over the course of a trip. We have two options for you: 

Shared Room (subject to the latest Covid-19 guidelines): You'll be matched with another solo traveler of the same gender.

Private Room: Have your own room, subject to availability, for a supplemental cost of $975. The extension single supplement is $75. 

Supplemental cost for trips after May 1, 2024: $760USD

Activity Level

India is a bustling country with many high-population cities.  Travelers should be prepared for high-energy, high-stimulation (sounds, and colors, and sights, and smells).  Some may find the air quality challenging in cities with dense traffic.  This trip covers a lot of ground so travelers should be able to easily move their suitcases on and off of cars and trains. 

In general, travelers should feel comfortable walking two to four miles over the course of each day, remaining on their feet for long periods of time, and sometimes walking on uneven terrain.

Arrival & Departure

You should plan to arrive in Delhi any time on Day 1. We recommend booking your flight home with a departure time from Delhi any time on Day 13. If you are joining the extension, we will return to Delhi around 3:00 p.m. on Day 15 so connecting international flights should not depart before 8:00 p.m.
